Sewing machine help needed.

I don't sew often. I decided to try to make a skating outfit for my dd using overlock stitch. It was going great. All of a sudden the top stitches look fine but there's BUNCHES of stitches on the underneath side. I've checked the tension and tried several tension settings and it happens with straight stitch too. I went on the singer website where it told me to re-thread the machine. Nothing works. The outfit's half done and I'm hoping somebody here will be able to give me a tip before I take it in to the fix-it shop tomorrow. TIA!!

Rethreading was what I was going to suggest, but I see you already tried that. Did you pull your bobbin all the way out of its casing and rethread that?

I've actually taken my machine in for a very similar problem. They rethreaded it and it worked fine . Why didn't it work for me the 6 times I tried before schlepping it down there????

Good luck. I hope you're able to get it going again.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I had re-threaded it sevearl times but apparently it was waiting for you to tell me to do it again. It works again!
